RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!

Disclaimer: I...sniff...don't own...I can't even say it! Waahh!


"Princess Serenity…" Mercury whispered. Somehow, although she had all the traits Luna constantly described, Sailor Venus being the princess seemed to be a lie. Something nagged at the back of Mercury's head, telling her not to believe it. She shook her head. It was just a bit of paranoia, that's all.

"I can't believe we finally found the princess! Leave it to Sailor Moon to miss something like this." Rei exclaimed, "Where's the Silver Crystal?"

Venus froze, and then relaxed. She closed her eyes, as if trying to remember a script, "I cannot tell you yet, but trust me, it is safe."

"Oh," Mars tried to cover her disappointment in vain. "We should go. People are starting to come out. We need to meet with Luna, anyway."


"So, Usagi," Kazune said from across the table.

Usagi wiped the spaghetti sauce from her mouth. "Yes?" She took a sip of her soda.

"How did you meet Sailor Moon?"

Usagi quickly covered her spit take with a napkin. "I-I…I…uh…"

Sierra scoffed. "Kazune, please, cut it out. Sailor Moon doesn't exist."

Usagi and Shingo slammed their napkins and glasses onto the table. "What was that, dear cousin?" Shingo asked between bared teeth.

Sierra rolled her eyes. "Sailor Moon isn't real. Sorry to burst your bubble your bubble, Shingo, but seriously, a girl prancing around in a ridiculously short skirt claiming to have super powers doesn't exist."

"Sailor Moon does exist!" Usagi screamed, "And the skirt isn't that sho-." She thought about it for a second. "Okay the skirt is a little short but she didn't choose it!"

"And how exactly would you know, cousin?"

"Onee-chan knows her personally!" Shingo said in a matter-of-fact way.

Sierra raised a brow. "Oh? Usagi, you call me a liar, yet you lie to little kids."

At this point, Usagi was boiling with anger. "I've never lied to either of these kids! Just because YOU haven't seen Sailor Moon doesn't mean that she's fake!"

"Please, Usagi," Sierra rested her head on her hand. "Sailor Moon is a legend produced by the Japanese government in order to attract gullible tourist. As a Japanese citizen of age fourteen, if you believe otherwise, you're stupider than your hairstyle leads people to believe."

"Sierra you—," Megumi was cut off by an obnoxious beeping noise. "What is that horrible sound?"

Usagi shot out of seat, silently thanking her annoying communicator. As of now, she hated her cousin. Not only did Sierra speak rudely about both sides of Usagi but she had the nerve to practically call Usagi's alter ego a slut! "That's for me. May I be excuse?" The adults nodded and the odangoed teen left the room.

Once Usagi was gone, Kazune took the opportunity to punch Sierra. "You're a baka, Onee-chan!"

"What are yo—."

"No, Sierra, you said enough," Kazune interrupted, "Usagi has been nothing but nice and everything that you said has been an insult to her or Sailor Moon!" Sierra pursed her lips. What he said was true. Every bit of it. "I hate you! I wish Usagi was my sister instead of you!" Kazune rushed from the room.


Minako aimlessly walked through the streets of Tokyo. Of course, she volunteered to attend the Senshi meeting but was denied. 'Nothing the princess should be worried about,' she was told. She chuckled. Wait until they found out Sailor Moon was the real moon princess. After all the meetings she attended, they'd throw a fit.

Not that she minded, after all, Artemis told her everything Luna blabbed into Central Control from the silly passwords to the fact Sailor Moon went on vacation.

Minako stopped in front of a random building and peered inside. She glanced at the sign, "Crown Arcade," she mumbled to herself. This was where Central Control was. The blond chuckled, 'speak of the devil and he shall come." She pushed open the door and walked inside.

The clerk's face turned confused. "Usagi?"

It was Minako's turn to be confused. "What about a rabbit," the girl asked as she sat at a random stool.

"Oh, nothing," Motoki said quickly, realizing his mistake, "you just look so much like my friend Usagi. She went on vacation. It's strange though, her cat still comes in here."

Minako raised an eyebrow. So Usagi was Sailor Moon's civilian form. Luckily the glamour didn't stop fellow senshi from correctly guessing correctly. "I'm sorry I'm not your friend. You'll have to deal with Aino Minako instead."

Motoki gave a sweet smile. "Motoki Furuhata. What can I get you?"


Kazune knew Usagi had to be upset after the Sierra said. He knew Sierra didn't mean all those things, but Usagi had no idea. He walked down the long hallway and stopped in front of the teen's borrowed room. He pressed an ear to the door.

The beeping continued. "Oh," Usagi wailed, "Where did I put that thing?"

Kazune furrowed his brows. So she really didn't use the sudden beeping to get away from his sorry excuse for a sister. He opened the door, unnoticed by Usagi, and peered inside.

Clothes flew everywhere. Usagi suddenly stopped and Kazune froze. Did she know he was there? He silently remembered when Sierra caught him trying to open her diary. The boy shuddered. Teenaged girls were scary.

"Ah ha!" Usagi snapped her fingers. "I know exactly where it is!" Suddenly, her hand disappeared and reappeared holding a pink calculator-like object. Kazune silenced his gasp a second too late.

Usagi looked up and Kazune flinched. "Kazune-kun," she whispered. There was no use in hiding now. The ten-year-old opened the door and walked inside. "Were you spying on me?"

Kazune looked down and tears glazed his beautiful green eyes. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

Usagi sighed. Luna was going to brutally murder her for what she was about to do. "It's alright, Kazune-kun. I was careless. You're a smart kid. You were bound to figure out."

"Figure what out?" Kazune asked apprehensively, eyes now glued to Usagi's hands, as if to make sure they would disappeared again.

Usagi signaled for him to be quiet and answered the communicator. "Moon here."

Moon? What did that have to do anything? Kazune lifted his eyes to his cousin's profile.

"Usagi-chan?" Rei appeared on the communicator. "Sorry to disturb you on your vacation but I thought you'd want to know this as the Senshi's leader before you came back."

Senshi? Moon? Leader? Kazune's eyes widened as the glamour faded. Usagi was Sailor Moon!


Minako walked happily up the stairs of Rei's temple. After talking with Motoki, the fake princess discovered that she and the true princess had a lot in common. They talked for around forty-five minutes and after, the clerk even offered her a free milkshake! Was this signs of a blossoming romance? The bubbly teen giggled to herself. "Only time will tell!"

"—before you came back," the blonde heard a raven haired miko say.

Minako stopped and hid behind a nearby tree. The meeting! How could she forget so easily! "What's that, Rei-chan?" she heard an unfamiliar voice. Were they talking to Sailor Moon?

"Usagi-chan," Rei could barely contain her excitement. "We found the last senshi! Sailor Venus! And guess what—never mind your odango brain will never get it. She's the Moon Princess!"

"You guys found the princess?" Usagi screamed. "What does she look like? Where is she? Can I talk to her? Where's the Silver Crystal?"

"Usagi!" Ami, Makoto, and Rei yelled. "Calm down!"


Mamoru typed on his laptop quickly and quietly, making the finishing touches on his essay due the next day. There was a knock at the door. Mamoru, not being used to visitors, curled his hands into fists and silently cursed whoever was on the other side of that door.

"Just ignore them and they'll go away," the man mumbled. Yet, the intruder, as Mamoru called them, didn't go away. The knocking became more constant and louder.

After a while, Mamoru couldn't take it anymore. He slammed his laptop closed and reluctantly got out of his comfortable recliner. He roughly opened the door.

There stood a smiling woman, Marisol as he remembered, holding a small package. "Hello, Mr. Chiba."

Mamoru forced a smile. "Hi. What can I do for you?"

The woman handed the package to him. "This is for you. Please enjoy your stay."

Mamoru nodded. "Thank you." To his relief, the annoying woman left.

He looked at the small box now in his possession. There was an envelope. Mamoru gently opened it and put the box on the counter.

Dear Chiba-san,

It will be an honor to finally meet you tomorrow. I hope you are enjoying your stay in Peru. In this package, I have included the clothes and food you'll need for tomorrow's expedition. We will be accompanied by my daughter and niece during our research and will meet each day in the tour start area at eight o' clock. If you have any problems, feel free to tell me.

Sincerely,

Doctor Osaka
